It’s truly cool that my dad Jim is now down here with us.
It took a whole lot of lobbying on my part, & my sibling chiming in for us to get Jim to move, as dad grew up & spent his entire adult life way up north.
That is the land of the gas heating system & not for the faint of heart when it comes to cold winter weather. Our mom died four years ago after a very brief illness. I guess Jim wanted to stay in the family house as a connection to mom. But it was getting to the point where Jim wasn’t able to get out of the house when the snow came. And it was just too much house for Jim to keep up. My sibling truly thought he should transport south where I live & I agreed. So I asked if I could work remotely for a month to get up north & help my dad sell the house. My friends and I upgraded the old residential Heating & Air Conditioning equipment & did some other upgrades to the old house. I was sort of blown away by the final number. I’m so blissful that Jim and I were able to capitalize on this real estate bubble. So my superb friend and I moved Jim down & he initially stayed inside the central a/c of our house with us. This was a superb way to transition for Jim as he just prefers being around his grandchildren. It took us about 6 weeks to find the best spot for him. It’s a nice little house that sits right on a golf course. This is heaven for Jim as just watching golfers is a superb time for him even if he’s not playing. Jim and I were also lucky that this place came with the latest in Heating & Air Conditioning technology & a brand new heat pump.
